A Paleocene (Danian) marine osteoglossid (Teleostei, Osteoglossomorpha) from the Nuussuaq Basin of Greenland, with a brief review of Palaeogene marine bonytongue fishes

Abstract: The early Palaeogene represents a key interval in the evolution of modern marine fish faunas. Together with the first appearances of many familiar fish lineages characteristic of contemporary marine environments, early Palaeogene marine deposits worldwide feature the occurrence of osteoglossid bonytongues. Their presence in marine rocks is surprising, given that these fishes are strictly associated with freshwater environments in modern settings and in other parts of the fossil record. Despite its possible rel… Show more

“…Evidence available so far from the region ( Koch & Nicolaus, 1969 ), combined with our observations on ATD, are indicative of rather oligospecific faunas and low overall abundance of fossil individuals. This is congruent with the common motif of Paleocene non-otolith marine fish-bearing sites, which as a rule comprise poorly preserved, low diversity fossil fish assemblages (e.g., Adolfssen, Milàn & Friedman, 2017 ; Schwarzhans & Milàn, 2017 ; Capobianco, Foreman & Friedman, 2019 ; Solé et al, 2019 ; Taverne et al, 2019 ; for an exception see Alvarado-Ortega et al, 2015 ). Still the potential of ATD should be noted, as it yields identifiable material like the Eurytanian clupeid, which is so far the oldest known from the Tethys, followed by the much better-preserved clupeids from the Ypresian of Bolca, Italy ( Marramà & Carnevale, 2015a ; Marramà & Carnevale, 2015b ; Marramà & Carnevale, 2018 ).…”

“…The most conspicuous example is a radiation of osteoglossids, a group that in the modern day is restricted to freshwater settings. Marine osteoglossids range in age from early Palaeocene (Danian) to middle Eocene (Lutetian) and include several named genera and unnamed forms [14,75]. Marine osteoglossids partially overlapped temporally, and in some cases co-occurred with, an early Eocene (Ypresian) to early Oligocene (Rupelian) shallow-water lineage of large-bodied (ca 1 m) paralepidid aulopiforms (barracudinas), a group that in the modern day is associated with meso-or bathypelagic settings [15].…”

“…All of these examples belong to a group of fishes called acanthomorphs, or spiny-rayed teleosts, which represent the dominant fish group in marine settings since the beginning of the Cenozoic [1,2]. However, the hypothesis that opportunity arising from the K/Pg extinctions fuelled diversification predicts that other groups may have also experimented with new roles in the early Palaeogene, although this has been little investigated (but see [14,15]) despite its significance for understanding the structure of marine faunas at that time.…”
